Additional information before going through the issue: Hoverfly was not installed in my local environment.

I have created a stub json file including another json file in response.bodyFile.

in samplestub.json

"request": {
    "path": [
        {
            "matcher": "exact",
            "value": "/hoverfly-one/v1/"
        }
    ],
    "method": [
        {
            "matcher": "exact",
            "value": "GET"
        }
    ],
    "destination": [
        {
            "matcher": "exact",
            "value": "one.alpha.internal"
        }
    ],
    "scheme": [
        {
            "matcher": "exact",
            "value": "http"
        }
    ]
},
"response": {
    "status": 200,
    "bodyFile": "./allBody200.json",
    "encodedBody": false,
    "headers": {
        "Accept": [
            "*/*"
        ],

When i try to import the above stub file using following RESTAPI, i'm getting following error.

Directory structure

$ pwd

/Users/user1/stubs

$ ls -la

samplestub.json

allBody200.json

Request:

$ curl -X POST -d "@samplestub.json" -k -H Content-Type\:application/json https\://hoverfly-admin.internal/api/v2/simulation

Response:

HttpCode: 500

{"error":"An error occurred: data.pairs[0].response open allBody200.json: no such file or directory"}

From the error i understood server is trying to find allBody200.json, which is not available in hoverfly sever. It's in my local environment.
